100 Most Stylish
Russian * International
On one side, we are supporters of style, which was
propagandized by W. Somerset Maugham: “The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice.” on another side – every year we choose a hundred of those who you certainly pay attention to.
blurb on photo of Alex:
If Scandinavian fashion needed a consulate, you couldn’t find a better candidate than Alexander Skarsgård. Simple white sneakers from Common Projects, skinny jeans and an Acne T-shirt – a usual ensemble for Skarsgård. In Stokholm, every other one is dressed this way, but for Hollywood, such simplicity is a revelation.
I really LOVE this photograph of him, but I have to confess I chuckled at the “most stylish” man being dressed in a robe for the photo shoot.
Below is a “loose” translation of what it says in Russian. Keep in mind sentence structure differs therefore may sound funny.
“If Scandinavian fashion needed a consulate, you couldn’t find a better candidate. Laconic white Common Projects sneakers, tight jeans and an Acne T-shirt – a usual ensemble for Skarsgard. In Stokholm, every other one is dressed this way, but for Hollywood, such simplicity is a revelation.”
Hopefully some of Alexander’s fans are tickled to know what it says!
